If so she's invited to stay for tea - as long as she'd like
I'm glad you got picked! Get good tea! Russian wife- Samovar? Da? ;-). I'm currently blushed out listening to my Beloved HE-560's! Listening to Valentina Lisitsa play Rachmaninov through the Lyr with those fine Siemens Cca early 60's.

How can you pass up a chance to live with one of the world's best HPs - for a while at least. Free!

Nice! I bet you can't wait until that stretched Brinks truck shows up at your front door.

Looks like I'll be getting a pr of these babies to give a whirl! Woohoo! Got picked for the demo beta testing.

But no EF1000 unfortunately

I'm hoping she is the one to deliver them

Don't do it, Roberto !!!!!!!!! Unless you're ready to buy (the headphones...not her !) I'm afraid they'll be no coming back to your 800's !!! Count to ten.

Lol...that's just too funny bro....

I was dead serious.

Actually for me at least - it's the EF1000 I'm most interested in - that's the one that'll pry my wallet apart. Far apart. The reason is it's dual purpose - both as a speaker amp and as a HP amp. I listen to my speakers 70% of the time HP's 30%. And the EF1000 will run a real tube balanced into the HD800's (that is my guess at this point) - even the Cavali Tube liquid Fire did not do that.

So no worries me and Senn will likely stay LT buddies.

Ok, comrade. I believe you. I really do. And I also believe you'll have the HE1000's before Labor Day. You'll have to have them after you hear them.

Congrats on the HE-1000 Robert! I hope you get to test the amp too. I'd probably be too tempted to buy the HE-1000.
